Texas Hold em is unlike other poker games - you do not hold all the playing cards. You are first dealt two cards with them face down. Then you are dealt the first of the community cards called the Flop. This is three cards laid in the center of the online poker table for all players to use. After the flop comes the Turn which is one additional card and then hold the final card before the winner is revealed is called the river. Once the community cards are down, all the players of the table reveal their cards to find out who has the strongest poker hand and wins the pot.
